Trail 31

"Boy Scout": Single track.  The section from 04 to the ridge line is a gentle to moderate grade on firm sand and a much more preferred cycling route to the section of 02 which it parallels.  The section of 31 which descends to Old Reservation Road is eroded with narrow gullies.  Novice to intermediate riders may well prefer to walk the steeper pitches.  Usually traversed from 04 to ridge crest but use for this segment is bi-directional.  The segment from the ridge crest to Old Reservation Rd is almost always traversed downhill.  Bicycles descend at speeds around 15 mph and ascend the south side at 10 mph. (Historical Note:  This trail gets its common name from the fact it passes through an old Boy Scout Camp.  The central cabin, small amphitheater behind the cabin, water tank, cement tables and fire pits are still visible in the area.)
